Arducam Global Shutter Camera Module for Raspberry Pi, 0.31MP Monochrome OV7251, 3 μm Pixel Size, Plugged into Native MIPI CSI-2 Port

Item Description:

The Arducam monochrome (B&W) global shutter VGA resolution OV7251 camera module is mainly designed for Raspberry Pi boards, and it can be connected directly to RPi’s CSI-2 camera interface without additional hardware.

This OV7251 camera module is compatible with the official V4L2 camera driver, and you can also use Arducam SDK for higher frame rates.

The sensor’s global shutter and excellent low-light sensitivity allow it to be used for any application that needs gesture detection, head, and eye tracking, and depth and motion detection.

Note:

• This camera and RPI driver doesn’t support hardware JPEG/H.264 encoding.
• The official V4L2 driver only supports RAW data and manual exposure.
• The maximum frame rate of OV7251 is 30fps with the official driver. If you need higher frames, visit Arducam OV7251 documentations.
